It is believed that Milat began his serial series in 1989. He did not have a preference between killing men and women. All of his victims were in their 20s and were usually travelling tourists. It is believed that his victims were murdered by shooting, stabbing or suffocation. His killing style differed throughout his serial series, causing police to question if there were two murderers. According to records, the victims which Milat shot were used as target practice. Experts claimed that he had sexual intercourse with two of his victims, though some of his victims were found too badly decomposed to be sure.

On May 22, 1994 Milat was arrested for the murders of 7 people. The police had received a search warrant and raided his home. Inside Milat’s home they found the sleeping bags and tents of his victims. They also found clothing and the weapons which Milat had used during the murders. Milat was found guilty for seven murders and one attempted murder on July 27, 1995. He was sentenced to 7 life sentences and 6 years for the attempted murder.

After receiving his sentence, Milat has been known to harm himself. He swallows razorblades, staples and other things that will hurt him. At one point in time he cut off his little finger and sent it to the High Court. In 2011 Milat went on a hunger strike in order to attain a Playstation.
